Ful builds and operates modular duckweed cultivation systems that produce high-protein biomass — replacing imported soybean meal with a domestic, scalable input.
Dollar-denominated, subject to tariffs and periodic import bans. Foreign reserves under constant pressure.
Feed prices have multiplied in four years. FX volatility ties farm margins directly to currency movements.
Conventional feed inputs carry contamination risk that constrains dairy productivity and export potential.
Conventional fodder crops consume water Pakistan cannot afford. The system needs a fundamentally different input.
Ful operates the system. Buyers purchase the feed. No capex required from farmers. The production module is standardized, replicable, and designed for Pakistan's climate and infrastructure constraints.
Each 1-acre module consists of 6 lined raceway ponds with paddlewheel recirculation, solar borewell integration, and automated nutrient dosing — producing 25+ tons of dry biomass per year.
Ful remains committed to dairy and poultry long term. However, initial commercialization targets aquaculture — fish and shrimp — where feed costs dominate operating expenses, validation cycles are short, and the market is fragmented enough for a new entrant to gain traction.
Pelletized aquafeed is the target product form: dry, storable, nationally transportable, with structured off-take. This converts biological advantage into commercial leverage.
| Protein requirement sensitivity | High |
| Feed cost share of opex | Very High |
| Validation cycle | 3–5 months |
| Integrator friction | Low–Moderate |
| Subsidy / policy support | Growing |
Everything Ful builds is designed for working farms in Pakistan: locally produced, durable in the field, and tied back to a single duckweed production system.
Three feed product lines anchored on duckweed biomass, formulated for distinct animal needs and existing on-farm workflows.
A scientifically fermented, nutrient-dense duckweed silage designed for superior livestock performance. Enriched with beneficial microbes to enhance digestion, improve feed efficiency, and support higher milk yields and weight gains.
An advanced organic soil conditioner crafted from high-quality duckweed biomass. Delivers balanced nutrients, boosts microbial activity, and promotes long-term soil health, closing the nutrient loop on-farm.
Species-specific feed formulations built around duckweed protein. Tailored blends for fish, shrimp, and ruminants that deliver optimized amino acid profiles, low aflatoxin exposure, and consistent on-farm performance.
Locally produced inputs designed to reduce dependence on imported alternatives and strengthen on-farm output.
A nutrient-rich organic fertilizer produced as a co-output of our duckweed cultivation system. Concentrated nitrogen and phosphorus in a stable liquid form, ready for foliar or soil application across row crops, fodder, and orchards.
A farm-grade probiotic blend developed for livestock and aquaculture systems. Supports gut microbiome balance, improves feed conversion, and reduces stress-related performance loss in stocking and transition periods.
High-protein duckweed meal and concentrates supplied to feed mills and integrators for inclusion in custom blends. 35 to 40 percent protein on a dry basis, traceable to a single production system, with consistent nutrient profile batch over batch.
Every farm is different. Before you commit to feed, fertilizer, or a full system, we visit your operation, look at what you have, and design what actually fits.
We assess your farm, design the right system, and get you operational. One-time setup. Ongoing support.
Built for Pakistani farms. Priced for Pakistani realities.
A site visit to understand your animals, water, land, and current feed costs.
A plan tailored to your operation: which products, what quantities, what timeline.
We get the system operational on your site and train your team.
Continued guidance, supply, and performance check-ins after deployment.
Equivalent weight gain versus control group. Improved blood profile markers observed. Manuscript under peer review at Journal of Animal and Feed Sciences.
Peer ReviewNo adverse health effects observed. Enhanced yolk pigmentation. Early trial data — further structured validation planned.
Early TrialsPositive preliminary growth response. Inclusion rate optimization underway. Structured trials ongoing with university and farm-level partners.
Trials OngoingAcademic validation and commercial field testing across university, private, and public sector partners.
| Module size | 6 ponds / ~1 acre |
| Annual dry output | 25+ tons |
| Production cost (dry) | ~80–100 PKR/kg |
| Sale price (dry) | 200–250 PKR/kg |
| Target gross margin | ~45–55% |
Economics reflect standardized deployment module. Pelletization capex and drying costs are key variables under active optimization. Biology fluctuates 30–40% under controlled conditions — projections account for this range.
Ful retains ownership of production infrastructure and biomass output. Revenue is recurring, structured through off-take agreements with aquaculture operators and feed integrators.
The module is designed to be replicable: standardized pond geometry, optimized nutrient inputs, labor-efficient operations. Each additional acre deployed follows the same engineering and commercial template.
